I just upgraded to Sequoia and now each all-day event on my Calendar has a little icon in front of it. How can I get rid of them? They are just unnecessary clutter. Many thanks.

I'm old. I don't like new things. Get off my lawn.
And those new icons are really annoying. I sent a message to Apple. :-)

Apple could solve the problem by making Calendar entries that come from Reminders a different color instead of those annoying icons. Just use a color that isn't selectable for other calendars.
I won't use the feature, but it's probably very nice that Reminders talks to Calendar. Just get rid of the icons on Calendar. They make it more difficult to read the text.
Cheers.
That was my first thought, but I can't find a way to turn them off. They get more annoying every day.
If people want reminders, that's what the Reminders app is for! If they want a notifications for Calendar events, alarms can be set within the Calendar app. All-day events are already in the upper section of each day, separate from hourly events. Seeing a teeny tiny calendar on an all-day event is of no help, and it takes up valuable text real estate, and looks cluttered.

Look at the 2nd post above yours. In general, it is very helpful to read other posts in a thread before posting yourself to the thread. It’s an easy way to avoid the embarrassment of asking something that has already been answered, in this case several times.
You can't get rid of them. They were added when it became possible to see your reminders on the calendar. They distinguish calendar events from scheduled reminders. And birthdays from your Contacts have a present icon.
You can let Apple know your thoughts here:

Apple could do a lot of things. You can let them know what you'd like to see here:

I like to use my own symbols on events in my diary and use several for different categories to catch my eye me if it is an important appointment. For example a red exclamation mark followed by venue for medical appointments, or the fire emoji for others, etc. The new green calendar symbol is of no use whatsoever, annoying and takes up space.
No one participating here can do anything about it. Tell Apple:

People have been begging Apple to link the two apps for years. Any time Apple makes a change, some people are going to be delighted and others very grumpy. Wait until next year. Apple may make a change that delights you.

I never saw them before I upgraded to Sequoia 15.0 a couple of days ago.
That's correct. Sequoia added the ability to see Reminders in Calendar. Brand new feature.
I called AppleCare, and there is no way to turn this icon off. It is a new "feature". They recommended--as many people here have--to contact Apple feedback to complain.

LOL I don't want Reminders and Calendar linked. For example, I would use Calendar to schedule "Get Groceries" from 10-11a. I use Reminders for the grocery list--I don't want that cluttering my calendar.
You can uncheck the box...
I find this somewhat amusing, because I switched to a 3rd party calendar years ago BECAUSE it had icons on calendar events.

And that’s probably because feedback@apple.com got thousands of requests to view Reminders in Calendar, just like we have seen here in ASC over the years, such as “Hey Apple, it’s 2024! Why can’t we see Reminders in the Calendar app?"
How to get rid of an icon on Calendar events that started after Sequoia Update?
